GENERAL INFORMATION

FRESCO is a plant growth regulator solution for use on Easter (Lilium longiflorum), asiflorum hybrids (LA hybrid), asiatic and oriental lilies. FRESCO Plant Growth Regulator Solution preventatively delays leaf yellowing and necrosis of lower leaves when applied lower leaves.
Flower senescence is delayed when applied to flower buds. Existing leaf yellowing and flower senescence cannot be corrected by an application of FRESCO Plant Growth Regulator Solution.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

For use in greenhouses.
FRESCO Plant Growth Regulator Solution should be applied using conventional spray application equipment as a directed foliar spray only. Do not allow spray coverage of immature leaves as this may result in unwanted stem elongation. Avoid high spray pressure which can cause misting of the spray and deposit on immature leaves. Thorough spray coverage is required for effectiveness as only plant parts covered with spray solution will be protected from leaf yellowing and chlorosis.
When making directed applications to lilies, apply enough solution to uniformly apply 1.9 litres of finished spray solution to 10 m2 of bench area to ensure directed coverage of the lower leaves. Do not apply more than 15 millilitres of spray solution per plant. Do not apply FRESCO Plant Growth Regulator Solution at excessive rates, to the soil, or to young foliage as this may cause stem elongation.
FRESCO Plant Growth Regulator Solution is best applied in the morning or late afternoon/evening when plants are not under drought stress.
Do not apply FRESCO Plant Growth Regulator Solution to plants under stress from water, pest or nutritional disorders.
Do not apply FRESCO Plant Growth Regulator Solution in tank mixture with any other product.
Do not re-use soil from plants treated with FRESCO Plant Growth Regulator Solution.

asiflorum hybrids (LA hybrids)
asiatic
oriental

Spray Concentration: 50/50* to 100/100 ppm
25/25 to 100/100 ppm
*50 ppm gibberellins A4+A7/50 ppm 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) active ingredients
Apply 50/50 to 100/100 ppm as a foliar spray to the entire plants of oriental, Asiatic and asiflorum lilies (LA hybrid) at the bud stage and one day before cold storage to reduce leaf yellowing and delay flower senescence following the cold storage period. One application only.
Apply 25/25 to 100/100 ppm to forced Easter lilies leaves at the bud stage to reduce leaf yellowing. One application only. Direct to lower leaves. Do not allow spray coverage of immature leaves as this may result in unwanted stem elongation.
